Federal Judge Hernán Viri visited the coastline of Colón, Entre Ríos, on August 21, as part of an environmental lawsuit against HIF Global and Uruguay. The inspection, led by legislators Guillermo Michel and Marianela Marclay, confirmed the plant would be located less than 3 kilometers from the city's potable water intake. Biologist expert Viviana Beatriz Cousté provided exact coordinates of the water intake, though the discharge point's coordinates remain undisclosed. Six photographs of the site, taken during nearly two hours of inspection, were added to the judicial file. The case, in the evidence-gathering phase, assesses the environmental impacts of the planned synthetic fuel plant on the Uruguay side of the Uruguay River, a project that has sparked tensions between political and technical actors in both countries.
